Eastside sports in Bishop will rent you one...Rumor is the new edition will be coming out sometime in spring.

I had heard this as well, but they would not loan one to me last year. I did manage to misidentify most climbs using MP (route finding isn't my forté), eventually met some nice locals who steered us in the right direction.

Yep. I tried searching but they ain't cheap because of the limited supply. Cheapest used book was $60 on AMZN. I e-mailed Wolverine Publishing and the lady said the new edition should be out in Spring 2018.

I just returned from ORG...many climbs are unreachable due to high water. The only places I found that you could cross were at Gotham City, and a bridge at the Social Platform, and I hiked up and down looking.

There are still plenty of great climbs, but areas like the China Wall and Gorgeous Towers are out. At least I couldn't find an easy way to reach them.

Thanks for the heads up, Jamie. We'll be there the week of Thanksgiving so we shall see.

A bunch of the dedicated locals just installed a fantastic new bridge to Great Wall of China a few days ago. There are also great new bridges at Pink Face/Big Tower, and Diamond Face/Diamondback areas. Erik Wolfe has put a huge effort into cleaning and equipping a bunch of nice new routes in those areas. They are all logged here at MP.

Pristine Copy of Owens River Gorge Climbs 10th edition guidebook is available for auction.

As many of you know the ORG has been experiencing water releases which have changed the river and access to much popular climbing areas. Bridges are in need of revamping to gain access which requires both manpower and materials. For reference, the recent bridge installed below China Wall took 8 people, 3 hours and cost nearly $250 in materials.

All proceeds of the auctioned guide will be donated to the bridge replacement project for ORG. For those of you that desire the guide this is a way to snag it and give back to climbing community.

The guide is in perfect condition with no shelf wear, no drawings/markings or highlighting. The spine is new and never been cracked.

• The starting bid, like Gorge routes, is steep... $100 • Auction Extended - to include Super Topo folks.• Signed by Marty Lewis

A lady came into the consignment gear store in Bishop and asked if they would buy her ORG guide book as she and her partner were leaving the next day and had no more use for it. The guys said no, they could put it on consignment but they wouldn't buy it and she didn't like the sound of that. I happened to be at the counter flipping through other guidebooks and, being the opportunist I am, told her I would buy it. She asked how much, I said I think I have ten bucks on me (I had $15), she said that wasn't enough. I "remembered" I had $15 dollars and offered it to her, she took it, I got a practically unused ORG guide book, and became a hero amongst my friends haha
